The second round is underway at the British Open but Steve Stricker of Madison was not scheduled to tee off until about seven this morning. Stricker was in a five-way tie for third place this morning, two shots off the lead, after he had a four-under-par 66 Thursday at Turnberry on the coast of Scotland.

Stricker was at even-par after back-to-back bogeys on the ninth and 10th holes. But he birdied four of his final eight holes.

And he made a 12-footer for a birdie on the 18th to close out a solid opening round.

Stricker, 42, won the PGA's John Deere Classic last Sunday, and the 3,800 mile plane flight to Scotland obviously didn't bother him.
